The Midlands club could have won the title on Sunday with a win
over Manchester United, but the 1-1 draw at Old Trafford meant
celebrations were put on hold for a day.

They had reason to celebrate after all on Monday, though, as
Tottenham were held 2-2 by Chelsea, giving Leicester an
unassailable lead with two games left.

Claudio Ranieri's men went top of the table for the first time
on November 21 following their 3-0 win over Newcastle and have not
dropped out of the top three since.

Leicester have suffered just three losses in the league all
season, with Arsenal defeating them twice and Liverpool proving to
be too strong at Anfield in December.

England international Jamie Vardy has played a key role in their
hugely successful campaign, scoring 22 times in 34 games and
breaking Ruud van Nistelrooy's record in the process as he became
the first player to score in 11 consecutive Premier League
matches.

Riyad Mahrez was has been equally important and was voted PFA
Players' Player of the Season for his excellent performances.

French midfielder N'Golo Kante and Jamaica international Wes
Morgan also made the PFA Team of the Year as reward for fine
campaigns.

The Premier League title represents the first major league
trophy of Ranieri's managerial career, having previously enjoyed
Serie C1, Serie B and Ligue 2 success. He also won the Coppa Italia
with Fiorentina, while leading Valencia to Copa del Rey glory.

Leicester secured promotion to the Premier League in 2013-14 and
finished 14th in the table last campaign - winning seven of their
last nine games to escape relegation.
